Ansible or other 'playbook' service available for Universal Blue?

Is there anything like this on the roadmap for UBlue?

I was considering setting up an Ansible distrobox which I could use to build my other containers … I imagine a world where I keep my playbooks on github, and when I want to build a container for some specific reason (ex: maybe Resolve,or ConfyUI, or a LLM or whatever) I can invoke a set of playbooks to build the container, connect it to the mount points I need it to connect to, install the requirements and the application I want to run.

I also imagine a ‘centralized’ set of scripts could be used to do some complicated installs such as getting wine to run for some specific applications, or having a consistent starting point for all kinds of ‘server’ type services running in distroboxes/podman/docker.

We don’t have plans for this (not a lot of ansible folks on the team) but there’s nothing stopping anyone from doing something like this and sharing it with others!
